CORALIE and PFS radial velocities of HD 86226

Here, we present the detection and mass measurement of a small, short-period (~4days) transiting planet around the bright (V=7.9), solar-type star HD86226 (TOI-652, TIC22221375), previously known to host a long-period (~1600days) giant planet. HD86226c (TOI-652.01) has a radius of 2.16{+/-}0.08R_{Earth}_ and a mass of 7.25_-1.12_^+1.19^M_{Earth}_, based on archival and new radial velocity data.

We also update the parameters of the longer-period, not-known-to-transit planet, and find it to be less eccentric and less massive than previously reported. The density of the transiting planet is 3.97g/cm^3^, which is low enough to suggest that the planet has at least a small volatile envelope, but the mass fractions of rock, iron, and water are not well- constrained. Given the host star brightness, planet period, and location of the planet near both the "radius gap" and the "hot Neptune desert," HD86226c is an interesting candidate for transmission spectroscopy to further refine its composition.
